Getting Healthy, Moving to Vermont, and His Business Ventures - Podcast with Chef Matthew Jennings

This is the Chefs Without Restaurants podcast. Each week we speak with food entrepreneurs, and let them tell their story. Our audio podcast is a more polished version, but for the YouTube version, we’re keeping it raw and unedited. Matt's camera wasn't working for this one, so it's just his audio.

On today’s podcast I have Matthew Jennings. He is a chef/consultant, and VP of Culinary at Healthy Living Market & Café in Vermont. He is also the founder of Full Heart Hospitality which he runs with Jason Rose.

Previously, Matt was the chef and owner of Farmstead restaurant and cheese shop in Providence, before moving to Boston, and opening Townsman restaurant. He’s the author of the 2017 cookbook Homegrown, and has been nominated for a number of James Beard awards.

Our conversation revolves around his decision to leave the restaurant, and move into consulting, and his new role at Healthy Living Market. You can also get a little more info on his next project, Red Barn Kitchen, which he’ll be starting with his wife Kate.
